Portugal Approves Gay Marriage

Alexandre Curado holds a rainbow flag in front of the Portuguese Parliament after the house on Friday passed the Socialist government's bill to legalise same-sex marriages, in Lisbon January 8, 2010.

The bill now needs to be ratified by conservative President Anibal Cavaco Silva. If he approves it, Portugal will join Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, South Africa and Canada in allowing gay marriages
